Joseph PreissingGUEST
I went to my undergrad at Columbia College in Chicago for arts and entertainment management.
Joseph PreissingGUEST
And my first job right out of college was at American Famous Talent, which is a talent agency in Chicago that represented Buddy Guy, Coco Taylor, Levon Helm, John Mayall, Frank Marino.
Mike OrfanosHOST
So a lot of the blues
Joseph PreissingGUEST
guys, a lot of the blues guys, but also some other non blues guys.
CherylHOST
yes
MattHOST
The ultimate singing drummer was Levon Helm.
MattHOST
He set the standard with the band.
MattHOST
And then Don Henley with the Eagles.
Terence HigginsGUEST
And one of the last things I worked with him on was The Last Waltz.
Terence HigginsGUEST
And if you're familiar with the band and the Last Waltz, Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm, there was this company that put together a 48th anniversary at the time of the Last Waltz.
Terence HigginsGUEST
And by me working with Warren Haynes, Warren was like, hey, they was using, the company was using Kenny Aronoff on a lot of stuff.
Terence HigginsGUEST
But when they came to New Orleans and they wanted to do Last Waltz, Warren was like, hey, man, I got a guy.
Martin PopoffHOST
You know, musical identity, I suppose.
Martin PopoffHOST
Levon Helm in the band.
Martin PopoffHOST
lead vocals again, uh, anchor identity.
Martin PopoffHOST
So he's an important guy in that band.
Nick PaumgartenGUEST
I got to spend an afternoon with Betty.
Nick PaumgartenGUEST
I spent some time with Phil, you know, on the day that Levon Helm died.
Nick PaumgartenGUEST
I was with him when he got the call.
Nick PaumgartenGUEST
You know, so it was like suddenly it was way closer to the flame.
David PannellHOST
Later, of course, there were some very successful drummer-singers.
David PannellHOST
I'm thinking of people like Mickey Dolenz, Levon Helm, Karen Carpenter, Phil Collins, Don Henley and Kevin Godley.
David PannellHOST
But the difference is that they were all great singers and Ringo wasn't.
David PannellHOST
Ringo is a reasonable singer, who can put his personality across in a song, but he obviously isn't a gifted singer.
Rev JonesGUEST
It's like so surreal because, you know, I'm at the anniversary of Woodstock at the Askers Farm.
Rev JonesGUEST
I got Levon Helm talking to me and Leslie West is getting married right there.
Rev JonesGUEST
It's just like, you know, that was those are those,
Victor M. RuizHOST
you know,
Justin AcriHOST
The greatest drummer, singer, Phil.
Justin AcriHOST
Is? Levon Helm from the band from the state of Arkansas.
Justin AcriHOST
He absolutely qualifies.
Phil ElsonHOST
Thanks.
Neal CappellinoGUEST
Why? Why? So that it can be on the grid? Who the flip cares? I mean, I love that.
Neal CappellinoGUEST
I mean, it's like, you're gonna take Levon Helm and put him on the grid? I mean, it's antithetical to me.
Neal CappellinoGUEST
Yeah.
Neal CappellinoGUEST
You know? It's just ridiculous.
Samuel SpencerHOST
Released a series of EPs before getting a place on an album by the electronic group Uncle.
Samuel SpencerHOST
And I really miss that point in the late 90s where like random rock musicians were turning up on dance music tracks all the time.
Samuel SpencerHOST
Very much post Setting Sun by the Chemical Brothers getting to number one with its Noel Gallagher feature.
Samuel SpencerHOST
That uncle album featuring not only Badly Drawn Boy seemingly the worst fit for dance music but also Tom York, Richard Ashcroft and Mike D from the Beastie Boys.
49 MINS LATER
Samuel SpencerHOST
They are basically doing the adult equivalent of those CDs that you used to be able to get from the, here's that reference, the early learning centre.
Samuel SpencerHOST
They used to have these CDs that were just...
Samuel SpencerHOST
the pop hits of the era re-recorded by session musicians to sound as close to the originals as possible but without having to spend any of those pesky royalties.
Samuel SpencerHOST
But it is giving Beat Freaks their second top 10 hit in a row.
